Internet of Things (IoT) systems balance sometimes conflicting tradeoffs between safety, security, resiliency and availability. For example, under normal operating conditions availability of sensors, controllers and actuators may be of paramount importance. System objectives may change given operational status change of connected IoT devices. IoTivity is a Linux Foundation open source example IoT framework where security integration is a central design objective. A primary challenge facing IoT framework designers is how IoT devices may utilize access control lists (ACLs), credentials, keys, or other data, to realize intended system behavior objectives.
